we owe to women

Nasrudin was talking to a friend, who asked him:

‘Have you never considered getting married, Mullah?’

‘I have,’ replied Nasrudin. ‘In my youth, I resolved to find the perfect woman. I crossed the desert and reached Damascus, and I met a lovely, very spiritual woman, but she knew nothing of the world. I continued my journey and went to Isfahan; there I met a woman who knew both the spiritual and the material world, but she was not pretty. Then I decided to go to Cairo, where I dined in the house of a beautiful woman, who was both religious and a connoisseur of material reality.’

‘Why didn’t you marry her, then?’

‘Alas, my friend, she was looking for the perfect man.’

Why do we love them so?



The simplest things make us love them: the way they laugh; the way they look at us; the manner in which they walk or sit. We go crazy over the down on their arms. We become irrational when we are deprived of their companionship. We feel incomplete unless they are with us to share the adventure of life.

A lovable woman can discipline us; they give us a reason for living and an anchor with which to keep our existence moored to a purpose greater than mere money-making or the achievement of fame. They are our missing half; our better half; never mind if we joke they are to us the old ball-and-chain.

In getting to know them, they get to know us, achieving an understanding of our selves beyond our competence.

Woman is wine: the delectable fruit of the vine, giving us joy, warming the heart, and warming us during those moments when a man and a woman united in love create entire universes: for physical and intellectual union are what create those high moments of ecstasy and illumination which validate our existence as human beings.

Our mothers. Our sisters. Our girlfriends. Our wives. Our mistresses. Loving and loved in different ways and under wildly different circumstances: and yet all the same in the way they bring out the best of us and the worst of us.

Our very being, of course, we owe to women: no one would be on this earth without them. To them we owe our development into thinking beings. To them we owe what little love we may receive as children, which must sustain us through life until, by some good fortune, we find another woman to love us totally, whether she be a mate or a friend. To woman man owes the perpetuation of the race; and to each woman each man must owe kindness, compassion, true friendship, such as only women can provide.

Without woman, we would have no art; no literature; no music: without woman we would have no civilisation. Deprived of woman, we would be sterile beings, unable to bring into this world re-creations of ourselves: children to ensure our immortality. Without woman we would have no one to wipe away our tears, to kiss us when we're blue, to share embraces and the caresses of love. To gossip with, shop with, eat with, unburden one's soul to or merely pass the time.

That is why we love women so. Without them, the world would have no meaning, we wouldn't be here; our individual worlds would be barren: a truth we all know.

And I thank God for all the wonderful women in my life.

And just one day in a year isn't enough to celebrate them but a lifetime.

Today the lowest closes of 2524 & 2550 & S1 for supports and a resistance at Pivot-2601(Which got resisted briefly) and then the 5 day low ema(2624)and R1(2639) and mkt touched 2628.These are trading times and as the +ve div persisted & being at the bottom, you get a powerful bear rally.

For Monday, US/Asian mkts should give us some clues to the direction. Daily at the bottom, weekly firmly down. 2640-2660 is a strong resistance area. With 2 holidays on Tue & wed, trade light.

Nifty trending down with brief intra bounces & quite OS...

Nifty looks for a short term bounce/ Rally after "OS", if 2610 holds..

Nifty is slipping down, now with Positive divergences...

Reliance Chart for a reader..

Weekly macd turns down at the zero mark and the pattern resembles a continuation of the fall, the last speculative one, the 5th down.

Daily macd turns down below the trigger and in the negative zone. A fall below 1140 will result in breaking of the triangle pattern towards/below the earlier lows. A rise above 1350 will be bullish.

Hourly shows the last upward channel breaking down and then pulling back towards the channel & fall resuming. This fall has impulsive 5 sub waves. A move below 1200 will accelerate the fall. If any + ve cues, it can rally back upto 1320 and then may resume the downmoves.
It is a sell on rallies upto 1320 with a SL 1350. Watch its price behaviour around 1140 area.

Nifty closes below the critical "2730", now the next critical "2650-2660"..!!!

Nifty gapped down below the critical "2730" and also closed well below that. The daily trend which was just about managing to stay in uptrend has decisively turned down. Now all time cycles are in downtrend.

Nifty stayed at S2-2681 for most of the day and broke through that in the afternoon signaling bearish trend. And closing below 5 day low ema confirmed it.

The Power of Infinite Patience.

The Sufi Poet Rumi wrote a poem almost a millennium ago, called "The Seed Market" that reflects a consciousness required to manifest abundance..

Can you find another market like this?
Where,
with your one rose
you can buy hundreds of rose gardens?
Where
For one seed
you get a whole wilderness?
For one weak breath,
the divine wind?
You have been fearful
of being absorbed in the ground,
or drawn up by the air.
Now, your waterbead lets go
and drops into the ocean,
where it came from.
It no longer has the form it had,
but it's still water.
The essence is the same.
This giving up is not a repenting.
It's a deep honoring of yourself.
When the ocean comes to you as a lover,
marry, at once, quickly,
for God's sake!
Don't postpone it!
Existence has no better gift.
No amount of searching
will find this.
A perfect falcon, for no reason,
has landed on your shoulder,
and become yours.

The Power of Infinite Patience:
"Those who are certain of the outcome can afford to wait, and without anxiety". When that certainty is manifested in you in the form of trust and a knowing, you can then turn away your thoughts away from the desired outcome. Your knowing and your infinite patience put you at ease.
When we become impatient, we literally devalue ourselves and our connection to the Divine.
One of the ways to develop patience is to contemplate how patient God has been with you. When you were in times of denial, or self-abuse or self-absorption or hatred, God was infinitely patient. This is the same kind of patience that you want to develop. When you let go off impatience, you align yourself with the God force and all the anxiety is gone. Anxiety produces fear, self-pity and attaches you to time. You become free when you relax your insistence to have it now.
This practice of patient detachment from outcome is a foreign concept to those of us who have been taught that goals, success symbols and the accumulation of merit badges are the ways to feel important and fit into our culture. You have achieved peace with your infinite patience, and peace is what enlightenment is all about.

Once you perfect the infinite patience you will demonstrate your trust in something other than your own limited body/mind, and you will peacefully allow your desires to manifest in their own good way, in their own good time.
